InmateAid does not replace Securus, but it can make Securus significantly cheaper. The way it works is that Securus charges different rates depending on the type of number the call is going to, and those rates vary by carrier and location in ways that are not obvious to the person receiving calls. InmateAid finds the phone number in their system that triggers Securus's lowest available rate for your specific facility, and provides you with a forwarding number that routes calls to your phone at that reduced rate.

In most cases the price can come down to around $3.15 per 15-minute call, saving roughly $1.85 per call compared to what you are paying now. That adds up meaningfully if you are talking frequently. If you are having 10 or more calls a month, the savings are worth it. Fewer than that and the math is closer to a wash.

Before you commit to anything, send InmateAid your phone number and the name of the facility. The team will give you an honest estimate of what the reduced rate would look like for your specific situation before you sign up.
